UberTwitter Now Available for iPhone

Popular Twitter client for the BlackBerry (), UberTwitter, is now also available for the iPhone (). The current version has been released as a beta, with the full 1.0 version being announced for December.

Aside from the standard features offered by most Twitter () clients: tweeting, retweeting, direct messaging and link shortening, UberTwitter boasts a unique feature called UberView. Enabled by simply turning the iPhone to landscape mode, or by tapping a tweet, UberView shows you the content from any embedded link within the tweet, such as a photo, video or an entire webpage.

With several very advanced Twitter clients — such as TweetDeck () and HootSuite () — already being available for the iOS platform, UberTwitter will have a tough time convincing iPhone users it’s the right Twitter client for them. However, BlackBerry-iPhone converts (UberTwitter claims that more than 9 million users have downloaded the BlackBerry client) will probably be glad they can continue tweeting with a familiar app.
